After leaving the tent, Zhang Xuan quickly made his way over to the mirror.
"Commander, what's the matter?"
Seeing how the Commander was acting so cautiously, not even allowing anyone to peer into the heavenly secrets and seal off the surrounding aura, the Great Sage 3-dan Otherworldly Demon frowned.
"It's like this …"
Stroking his lower jaw, Zhang Xuan explained as he walked. But before he could finish his words, a demonic saber suddenly appeared in his hand and slashed toward the Otherworldly Demon's neck.
"…"
Not expecting the other party to make a move all of a sudden, the Otherworldly Demon leaped in fright. After all, he was a Great Sage 3-dan expert who had been through countless battles. Even though he panicked, he didn't lose his composure.
Padah!
But barely after taking two steps back, a massive brick suddenly fell on his head, smashing him into a pancake.
Even a Sempiternal realm Commander was unable to recover from the impact, so how could the Otherworldly Demon possibly withstand it? With just a single strike, he was knocked out.
Puhe!
The Infernal Blacksaber flew over and absorbed the Otherworldly Demon's blood and soul cleanly.
Without any hesitation, Zhang Xuan flew back to the tent and said, "Come over for a moment!"
He beckoned the other Great Sage 3-dan Otherworldly Demon over.
Five minutes later, he appeared from outside the tent and said, "The three of you, come over together!"
The three Aureate Body realm Otherworldly Demons walked out, leaving only the two Introspective Convalescence realm Otherworldly Demons staring at one another.
Weren't they supposed to be discussing some important matters?
Why did they have to be called out?
Not too long later, the Commander returned with a satisfied look on his face. As soon as he walked in, he set up a soundproof seal and said, "I had a mission for them earlier, so I'll talk to you about it now …"
The two Introspective Convalescence realm Otherworldly Demons immediately stood up, fearing that they would miss the order.
Hu!
A saber flashed, and before the two Otherworldly Demons could react, their heads had already fallen to the ground.
Even in their final moments, they couldn't figure out why they had made a move.
Against Sempiternal realm experts, it might have been a little troublesome, but Introspective Convalescence realm Otherworldly Demons could easily kill them.
After dealing with the seven Otherworldly Demons, Zhang Xuan finished dealing with the corpses and beckoned for a guard to enter.
"Summon all of the Great Sage experts here for a meeting …" Zhang Xuan ordered.
"Reporting to Commander, only five Great Saint-level deputy commanders came this time. Just now … they were all called out by you!"
The guard looked at Zhang Xuan doubtfully.
Great Sage realm cultivators … I've already called out five of them. Two of them were still here a moment ago, but where did they go?
The guards were only at Saint 6-dan or 7-dan, and even Great Sage 3-dan Intuitive Impulse realm cultivators were unable to tell that they were fakes. Naturally, Zhang Xuan would not be able to tell either.
They would never have thought that the true commander had already been killed.
"That's good!" He was just testing the waters. Since there were only seven of them, it saved him a lot of effort. Standing up, Zhang Xuan ordered again, "Inform all the soldiers to gather in front of the tent!"
"Everyone?"
"That's right. Call everyone over, including those who are resting, investigating, and patrolling!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hand.
"Yes!"
The guard hurriedly walked out, and soon, the horn sounded to assemble.
In less than ten minutes, a uniform sound of footsteps could be heard. Walking out of the tent, Zhang Xuan saw countless Otherworldly Demons standing in neat rows.
After taking a look, Zhang Xuan raised his eyebrows.
There were at least ten thousand Otherworldly Demons before him.
It was fortunate that he had not made a move earlier. With ten thousand Saint 3-dan and above experts forming a formation, it was hard to say whether a Half-Ancient Sage would be a match for them.
It was no wonder the Zhang clan dared not attack them. If so many Otherworldly Demons were to charge at them, no matter how powerful the Zhang clan was, they would surely lose more than half of their forces.
"General Auer!"
Suppressing his shock, Zhang Xuan bellowed.
"Yes, Commander!"
General Auer stepped forward.
"Bring the items that I have just set up here!"
With a wave of his hand, Zhang Xuan commanded.
"Yes!"
General Auer had no idea why the Commander would do such a thing, but since it was an order, he dared not disobey it. Thus, he quickly led a group of men away.
A few minutes later, the stone tables and mirrors were brought over.
"Form a formation of a thousand men and distribute these items to each group. Hold hands, and those at the very front, place their palms on the mirrors!"
Zhang Xuan issued an order upon seeing the items being brought over.
"A thousand men per group?"
"Hold hands?"
All of the soldiers were bewildered.
Were they going to practice some kind of new formation?
Just that … why had they not heard of such a thing before?
Even if it was a formation, they had never heard of it being held hands!
An Otherworldly Demon dressed in black armor who bore a striking resemblance to General Auer couldn't hold back his rage any longer. "Commander, the Zhang clan is eyeing us with hostility. If we gather everyone here and hold hands, what if they make use of this opportunity to attack us?"
The other soldiers also turned their gazes over as well.
"Fools!"
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up in fury. "This is the battle plan that I have just come up with with the Vice Commanders. Do you know what those mirrors are?"
"I don't!"
"They seem to be some kind of unique mirror. I have no idea what they are used for."
The crowd shook their heads.
If not for the fact that Zhang Xuan had spent a lot of time with seers, he wouldn't have been able to recognize them. These ordinary soldiers had never seen a human seer before, so it was hard for them to recognize them.
"Let me tell you, these are the treasures of the seers. They are capable of concealing the secrets of the heavens, such that even Intuitive Impulse cultivators won't be able to notice them. The reason why I'm asking you to hold hands with them is to conceal your aura and killing intent so that you can sneak over and catch them off guard!"
Zhang Xuan said with a grand wave of his hand.
"Catch them off guard? Commander, are you intending to launch a sneak attack? "
"They are capable of concealing the secrets of the heavens? That's way too formidable! "
"Indeed! If we succeed in our sneak attack, we will have made a huge contribution to the Zhang clan!"
Hearing the effects of the mirrors, the faces of the Otherworldly Demons flushed in agitation.
If they could successfully launch a sneak attack, they would not have to fight to the death. Perhaps, they might even be able to make a huge contribution to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and win countless rewards.
"It's good that you understand what I'm saying. So, you must hold hands with each other. There mustn't be any insulating objects between you. Remember, if any of you were to accidentally reveal your presence to the master teachers, you will be deemed as a sinner of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, and you will be executed on the spot!"
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up as killing intent seeped into his voice. "We're staking everything on this sneak attack. Failure is not an option! Do you understand? "
"Yes!"
The Otherworldly Demonic Tribe soldiers nodded in agreement with agitation and solemnity on their faces.
"Good!"
Seeing that everyone had obeyed his orders, Zhang Xuan waved his hand grandly. "Set up the formation!"
Hualala!
The massive formation immediately split into groups of a thousand, with the strongest standing at the very front. Their palms touched the mirrors while the others held hands with each other. Layer by layer, the formation extended for several hundred meters.
"Very good!"
Zhang Xuan nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to say a few words of encouragement, a gust of wind suddenly blew past, and a figure abruptly appeared before him.
"Commander Heng Jiang, what are you doing?"
A loud bellow echoed.
